Evelyn snapped out of her thoughts, depressed as she remembered the past. She scratched her long hair, annoyed and restless.
Her phone buzzed at that moment. It was a message from Sheffield. "Sorry, Eve. I didn''t have my phone on me. I was in theb. Are you okay now? Forget the past. You don''t have to talk about it if you don''t want to. It doesn''t matter. But promise me that you''ll never see that guy alone again."
She bit her lower lip and fretfully bent over the desk. Finally, she texted him back. "I want to see you, Sheffield."
"I''ming!"
In an instant, Sheffield put away his phone, changed his clothes and walked out of theb.
Around ten minutester, he reached the entrance of ZL Group. One look at the heavy security and he knew that he couldn''t just talk his way in. He took out hisptop and hacked into the face recognition system of thepany.
After sessfully registering his face, he turned off theptop, put on his sunsses and got out of the car.
As he walked to the entrance of thepany, he deliberately lowered his head and pretended to y with his phone. Then, as low-key as he could, he stood in front of the face recognition scanner.
"Clear!"
the robotic sound from the scanner confirmed. The two security guards at the door, who were staring at Sheffield for a moment, looked away.
Sheffield shed a smug smile as he smoothly walked past the security.
However, the very next second, the smile froze on his face. A group of people wereing in his direction and he broke out into a cold sweat. He thought to himself, ''Lady Luck has obviously turned her back against me! Of all the people in the world, I had to run into the one person who hates me the most right now!'' Carlos was leaving thepany with some men.
Sheffield was quick to react and immediately headed in another direction.
But it was toote. Even though he was wearing sunsses, Carlos still recognized him.
Carlos'' face darkened. He walked towards the doctor in quick strides. When he heard the footsteps behind him, Sheffield quickened his pace too.
The three assistants with Carlos exchanged confused looks, but followed their boss nevertheless.
The footsteps behind him became clearer and clearer. Sheffield muttered, "Oh crap!" He picked up his pace again.
"Stop! Which department
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I''m alive, I''m still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few yearster, to his astonishment.
n his apartment.
"Dad." Evelyn couldn''t stand it anymore and got up from her chair.
Carlos raised his eyebrows and gestured for her to sit down. "I have taught you many times to be calm in any situation, no matter what happens. He''s only been here for a few minutes. What''s the rush?"
Evelyn didn''t know what to do or say.
Sheffield winked at her and mouthed the words, "Don''t worry."
Evelyn believed that Sheffield was a brilliant man. It was just thatmon people wouldn''t be able to decode the lock.
After observing it for a while, Sheffield asked Carlos, "Mr. Huo, may I use Evelyn''sptop?"
Carlos had no idea what he was nning to do. "There are a lot of important documents on herptop. No one is allowed to use it." That meant Sheffield couldn''t touch it.
"Dad, he can use my desktopputer..." Evelyn cut in. Although there were some documents on her desktopputer, they were not as important as those on herptop.
Carlos frowned at his daughter''s meddling, but Sheffield dashed towards herputer and blew her a kiss.
Evelyn stepped aside and reminded him in a low voice, "Don''t push yourself too much. We can find another way to get you out of here."
Sheffield sat down in her chair. Instead of replying to her concern, he patted her chair and said, "Your chair is reallyfortable. I should get one of these for my home."
Carlos sneered, "You are not rich enough to afford that chair." He wanted to seize every chance to mock Sheffield, just in case the doctor turned the tables some day in the future.
